I’m not sure if Salma Hayek or Monica Bellucci should have the title of the hottest 40-year-old actress. Both look damn gorgeous for their age. Bellucci will be starring in action thriller “Shoot 'Em Up,” which co-stars Paul Giamatti and Clive Owen.
Owen plays Mr. Smith, a man who delivers a woman’s baby during a shootout, and is then called upon to protect the newborn from the army of gunmen. Owen hooks up with Bellucci, who plays a hooker he’s recruited to help take care of the baby.
The Italian beauty is no stranger to taking care of babies. Bellucci has been a mother of two years to her baby daughter, Diva, who was born in Rome after filming “The Matrix.”

belluci is so beautiful. always has been.
She’s soooo purty! I hope i’ll be as purty as her when I’m that age!
she is really beautifu. i would pick her over Salma Hayek if i had a choice
both look great
Italian women always look so beautiful. :)
Tough choice but I think I’d go with Monica. :)
*Looks down at his t-shirt and reads “i (heart) hot moms”*
=D
she is just getting more beautiful with age
She is the epitome of class, elegance and beauty, in other words, womanhood.
monica proves that 40 is the new 30 (if you shape up, that is). hoolala!! :D
KLS: i concur – class, elegance, beauty, and a confidant sensuality.
hayek is the past, always has been. Desparato was the end.
The Matrix was the beginning.
^ agreed
Over Hayek anyday
Wow! belluci is still the best…i like her so much
i third the whole class and elegance awards. she’s refined. that’s how i’d sum it up.
I’m a sucker for Salma Hayek. :p
gorgeous
over Salma Hayek sure.
Not a great actress though.
Asked an italian friend and said “she is so crap one of her first roles (Dobermann – french movie) she was playing a mute”!! haha…
to those who haven’t, go catch Malena. You’ll love it, guaranteed.
thats right DaoV:
“she is really beautiful. i would pick her over Salma Hayek”
wow, 40.
Thank you Italy! 4-tee and still gettin young.
I prefer Monica!The real femme fatale!
I am a greee ……she so…..must talent
There seems to be quite a few beautiful women out there who’ve reached a pretty high age. Monica Bellucci is still looking fine. And my god, it’s still hard for me to take my eyes off of Vanessa Marcil.
Selma doesn’t quite fit in, although she’s not that bad looking. She just ain’t no Marcil/Bellucci!!
Yap. JwKuo87 is quite true.. She’s looking good eventhough she is getting old enough. hehehe.
Well u have named my two favorite hotties. I think Monica wud have an edge over Salma in my books. I wud also recommend Deepika Padukone a new actress from India who stars in Om Shanti Om, a movie due for release soon. Check out her pics from the link above. She is special.
